(I wonder who had the balls to take this photo, not to many photos that I’ve seen of sleeping German officers.)

"I hear the train a-comin', it's rolling 'round the bend." Today in 1955 Johnny Cash released his famous single "Folsom Prison Blues" with Sun Records. The single peaked at fourth on the Billboard Country Western Best Sellers chart. Cash originally wrote the song in 1953, while he was stationed in Germany serving in the Air Force. He was inspired after seeing the movie Inside the Walls of Folsom Prison in 1951. On January 13, 1968 Cash recorded a concert at Folsom Prison, and four months later "At Folsom Prison" was released. The album would hit number one on the Country Music charts and reached the top 15 on the national charts. The single "Folsom Prison Blues" was a top 40 hit.
